        I seem to have a problem.  Brief background:  I am administering
an IBM-AT with a 386 motherboard running at approximately 20MHz.  The
software is SCO Xenix 2.3.1.  Recently, the system crashed (on two separate
occasions) and these messages were placed into the /usr/adm/messages file:

>TRAP 0000000E in SYSTEM, error code=00000000

        I would assume that this is some type of memory (RAM) fault --
although I may be completely off base.  I was wondering if there was some
way to make sense of these messages, and figure out what the problem
is.  I would appreciate any help, and will say thanks in advance.
